In The Arms of an Angel - 17. Chapter 17

The sparking blue energy travelled quickly up Uzzi’el’s arm and covered his body. He looked surprised by what he was doing, but not as surprised as Gabri’el, whose wide eyes were like pools of darkness in a pale, shocked face.

“No,” he said abruptly, “not even for you, little flower.”

Instantly, a glittering dark energy rose from him and began to quench the blue sparks. Pasha, crumpled against the wall where he’d fallen, was stunned. When the energy had burst from Uzzi’el, something inside him had opened and he’d been flooded with fire that made him feel invincible, but strangely nervous. As soon as the sparkling dark began to creep out he felt cold, the energy turning in on itself.

Uzzi’el began to tremble, falling to his knees and Pasha could feel his panic. He was drowning and Pasha had to do something, but what? He was afraid to touch either of them in case he did more harm than good—to Uzzi’el or himself; he had a feeling nothing he could do would harm Gabri’el .

Then it came to him. He was feeling what Uzzi’el was feeling, so the reverse would also be true. He was still fizzing with Uzzi’el’s energy. As Uzzi’el had given it to him perhaps he could give it back. Would he need to touch him? He was inclined to think not, but then remembered the fantastic sensations that had flown through him when they did touch and so crawled slowly across the floor. Gabri’el ignored him— one advantage of being human and therefore beneath Gabri’el’s attention.

When he was close enough, Pasha reached out his hand and touched Uzzi’el on the arm, trying to will energy into him. The effect was instant and dramatic. An enormous surge of sparking blue energy literally threw Gabri’el off his feet. Uzzi’el, too was thrown backwards and landed on Pasha, sending them both tumbling.

“What the fuck was that?” Gabri’el demanded furiously as he staggered to his feet. He loomed over Uzzi’el and Pasha who cowered on the floor. And then Uzzi’el stopped cowering. Shaking his head like a dog coming out of water he turned to Pasha, his blue eyes wide and shining. Pasha was hit by a wave of feeling that crashed over him and he very nearly lost consciousness. He was vaguely aware of Uzzi’el, pulling him close and he clung to him, like a rock in a stormy sea.

For what seemed like an age, Pasha rode the wave of Uzzi’el’s chaotic emotions until they finally settled into wonder, awe and overpowering love. Pasha stared up into his eyes and his world contracted into the two glowing blue orbs.

“Are you alright?” Uzzi’el asked breathlessly.

“Yes,” Pasha gasped. “What happened?”

“I guess, I… unlocked.”

“Unlocked?”

“Yeah, I’ll explain later. In the meantime I have business to take care of.”

Pasha watched, still stunned, as Uzzi’el got to his feet and faced Gabri’el. Gabri’el smiled slowly, seeing something in Uzzi’el that made a gleam come into his eyes. He reached out to draw Uzzi’el into his arms but was stopped by the vicious blow that caught him on the cheek and deposited him again on his backside on the floor.

“You bastard,” Uzzi’el hissed. “You left me behind. You left me to them. Do you have any idea what they did to me? To hell with your fucking revolution, I want nothing more to do with it. It was never my fight. I just want to take Pasha home and forget I ever knew you.”

“Do you think I wanted to?” Gabri’el retorted, getting to his feet again. “Do you think it was easy to come to Earth without you and do you have any idea how I felt when I realised I’d been tricked? I had no idea we’d been set up and by the time I realised it was already too late. I thought you were with me, Uzzy. I swear I thought you were with me and when I realised you weren’t it was too late and there was no way back.

“I knew you’d make it though. I had every faith in you and then, when Fiero told me you were here…. I’ve been searching for you, I swear it. I never stopped.” He’d been moving forward slowly, his hands in front of him as if he was approaching a wild animal who was as likely to attach as run. Uzzi’el eyed him suspiciously.

“I know you, Gabri’el. I know the way your mind works. Schemes within schemes and the only one who really matters is you.”

“That’s not true.” Gabri’el slid his arm around Uzzi’el’s waist again and drew him close. The look that passed between them could have melted rock. “You matter to me, little flower. You always have and you always will.”

“I don’t believe you,” Uzzi’el said, but Pasha could feel his confusion, his resolve weakening. He could also feel the underlying sexual tension, the undeniable attraction that had him looking at Gabri’el in an entirely different way. He’d always been beautiful but now he seemed softer, less threatening.

“Believe this.” Gabri’el lowered his head to kiss Uzzi’el and Pasha experienced his surrender. He closed his eyes for a moment as his body was possessed by a delicious shiver of anticipation. He moaned softly and Uzzi’el leaped away from Gabri’el as if he’d been burned.

“No,” Uzzi’el said firmly. “No, I’m not going to be deceived by you again. How many times can you expect me to be hurt and keep coming back? You want me in your army then so be it. I’m no more convinced than I ever was, but just as resigned to its inevitability. However, I want nothing to do with you other than as my superior officer. Touch me again and I’ll rip out your heart.”

Gabri’el looked at him for a long moment. “You already did,” he said softly then turned on his heel and strode from the room.

I don't like Gabri’el at ALL! :P But otherwise than that I was very happy with the fact that Uzziel pulled away FINALLY (Yeah, it pissed me off when poor Pasha just had to sit there while his lover angel was kissed by another AND WAS FINE WITH IT! I just don't know what was wrong with Uzziel then! :D) and swore Gabri'el off and I AM SO HAPPY THAT HE UNLOCKED HIMSELF! :'D I can't wait for the next chapter Nephylim! :D

...Like you should post the next chapter sooner, hehe! :) Just kidding! <3 Thanks for a great story!

I can't say I really know. :) No, Gabri'el definitely isn't trustworthy :)

Thank you. It looks as if Uzzy and Gabe have a history. Uzzy said he keeps going back and keeps getting hurt. This time is different though because this time Pasha was there. I think the fact that they feel each other's feelings helped Uzzy make the break with Gabe. Pasha is a good guy for sure, although I think he wouldn't have been so cool with Uzzy and Gabe if he hadn't been linked with Uzzy

A nice, -if short, chapter. At last Uzzi'el shows that he does possess a backbone!

I don't understand the power exchange from Pasha to Uzzi, but that will come

later, I'm sure. And Gabe? Looks like he's an overconfident, self-important

ass, and too vain to know it. Or maybe he's just another politician?

OMG. I was crying sparkly tears over this one... Could be because I am going to see Breaking Dawn tomorrow... Don't judge, there is some hot werewolf,shape shifter, tasty men in that movie. We are going tomorrow because we don't want spoilers. ( damn that part about spoilers was hard to get out with a straight face.)

I was actually sad though. I don't trust Gabe as far as I can throw him but I don't like anybody to hurt. Its just not in my nature. I was even sad that Justin who-shall-not-be-named broke up with that Disney twit. However, I was really glad that Pasha and Uzzy figured out they are stronger if they link up. I can't wait to see what happens next. I get the feeling its all about to go splody!

In other sorta somewhat related news. I am off to download(LEGALLY) the new How To Destroy Angels E.P. Yay for Trent Reznor and company. guitar.gif

I think Gabe is all of the above :) Unfortunately the chapters are never going to be longer because they are in fact my weekly flash fiction group offerings so every week you'll have exactly 1000 words.,, or a little less.. Thank you again for your support

GASP you want to destroy angels???? Keep away from Mr Sexy Wings or else!!! :) Gabe wasn't really hurt. He's an arrogant prick :) He deserves to be taken down a peg or two. On the other hand he's not a complete baddy either :)

You have to have a heart for it to be ripped out and I don't think Gabri'el has one. Well, he might but its probably dried, puckered and so shriveled that if you touched it the thing would burst into dust. I don't doubt that Gabri'el loves...his own agenda and cause but certainly not Uriel. I'm thinking that if he did then the two of them would have created a bond which would have made it impossible for Uriel and Pasha to form one. I also don't believe that Gabri'el is going to give up. I think he'll rework things, plot, scheme and do whatever he can to get what he wants regardless of who he hurts.

You know... you could be right. But then again.... :P:)
